2 ?'s. yellow squash and sugar pie pumpkins
Comments (3)Spoke to my husband about squash last night and he clarified somethig. Apparently all the yellow squash this summer has tasted funny to him. So could it be the unusually high heat this summer? can that affect taste? I just can't think why the squash wouldn't taste good this year....See MoreWhat Chinese Veg to Sow Now for Summer Harvesting?
Comments (1)I strongly advice against kai lan, it is considered to be a poor man's vegetable, and has quite a bitter taste. Unless you're into that thing, same goes for bitter gourd. I suggest getting some Choy sum, a type of chinese cabbage, which grows well and is one of, in my opinion, the most delicious Chinese vegetables. I've living in China for over 10 years, so I know.replica watch Cartier replicas Rolex replicas Swiss replicas...See MoreBest way to store/preserve summer squash?
Comments (5)I dehydrated three varieties of summer squash last year in thin round slices - much thinner than one inch, which I think would be too thick for dehydrating. However, the ones I have reconstitute nicely and have a good texture for all kinds of recipes. I am still using them and enjoy them greatly. Maybe you could stack thin slices on each other to get your inch thick slice? If you can find a way to freeze it that would be wonderful but I've never heard of a way that doesn't turn it into mush. Good luck, and let us know how it goes!...See Morebest way to store/preserve summer squash?
Comments (7)Do you have a foodsaver? The shrink thing. I think i would just concentrate on your veg for freezing. Sautéing onions, adding herbs at the last few minutes....a pot of simmering water to quickly blanch the squash and packing them together 'flat pack' for the freezer. That way you can pull out your frozen veg throughout the fall/winter, and construct your family recipe with your summer harvest. I have just a few left from last season of baby bok choy, onion, garlic, garden herbs, squash that i froze flat pack and add to soups and chowders. They have been so good all winter. I just label them as the fall harvest is so varied and i freeze different combinations as i feel may be useful...some have fresh corn off the cob and some beans. If you just make a few packets while making a meal late summer, ...say on a sunday afternoon over a few weekends, you will have a few dozen flat veg mixes in the freezer that don't take up much room. You could freeze in qrt freezer zip-locks also. Just press out all the air and push them flat. Worth a trial this gardening season. Experiment. Just pick your squash small and young for the best flavor....See Moretreebarb Z5 Denver
